Waihe'e Ridge Trail
Waihe‘e, near the island’s central valley, where three different hikes in a 10-minute radius offer wildly different experiences. At the Waihe‘e Coastal Dunes and Wetlands Refuge, a 2-mile trail runs right along a beach that’s covered in white sand and driftwood. Just 4 miles away, the Waihe‘e Ridge Trail climbs 2,500 feet up the mountain on a fern-lined trail in the mists. And a mile up the road, a narrow trail in Makamaka‘ole Valley leads down to a hidden waterfall, where hikers scramble down the roots of a banyan tree for a refreshing dip in the swimming hole.
Haleakala Crater
Haleakalā Crater has some of Hawaiʻi’s best backcountry hiking. There are three campgrounds in Haleakalā Crater that require quite a bit of walking — 8 miles to the closest Holua campground and 20 miles to the furthest Palikū campground.

Kapalua Coastal Trail
The Kapalua Coastal Trail connects Kapalua Bay with D.T. Fleming Beach Park — both of which have been previously named “America’s Best Beach” by Dr. Beach. Take in all different shades of green while hiking through Honolua Valley to the shoreline of Honolua Bay, where vines dangle from a canopy of ferns and moss covers the tree trunks.
Napakele Blowhole
To find the trail to Nakalele Blowhole, drive north from Kapalua for approximately 8 miles, and park when you see the mileage marker that says 38.5. There are numerous trails that criss-cross the landscape, and they all lead down to the blowhole, but the trail from mile marker 38.5 is not only the safest route, but also offers a look at the famous heart shaped hole in the rock.
KAUAI ( Hiking Trails )
Waimea Canyon Hike
Miles of maintained trails are available for hiking, trails that range from easy to difficult. Some of the more spectacular scenes are viewed this way – you can even sit atop Waipo‘o Falls from the Cliff Trail that hugs a ridge and greets hikers with out-of-this-world vistas.
Opaeka Falls
This east side waterfall is situated in the Wailua River State Park on Kuamo‘o Road. From Kuhio Hwy., turn at the intersection where the former Coco Palms Resort resides, across from Wailua Beach, and head up the hill for a short distance until a large parking lot comes into view on the right. Park here and a two-minute walk from your car will take you to a lookout where you can safely admire this gem of a waterfall plunging some 150-feet to the ground below.
KAUAI ( Hiking Trails )

If you only have time for one hike within the park, this is the one to take. The hike is about three miles round-trip, with the peak of the hike reaching 4,000 feet elevation – so bring a jacket and rain boots! It can get a bit chilly. Visitors will traverse through a native rainforest and cross warm 50-year old steaming lava oozing from the cracks in the earth.
Papakolea beach
Located in the Kaʻū District of Hawaiʻi Island is a short hike that takes visitors to a magnificent green sand beach. Green sand beaches, created by a common lava deposit called olivine, are rare, making this gem a truly unique destination.
